@cspanofficial: U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers (R-MI) criticized his opponent, Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI), on Saturday for his support for Medicare for All, arguing that a Canadian-style health care system could mean longer waits for treatment and less choice for patients. "Abdul talks a lot about wanting a system that looks like Canada," Mr. Rogers said. "My argument is, he should move to Canada." Mr. Rogers claimed cancer patients in Canada face an average wait of about 27 weeks between diagnosis and treatment, while arguing that the U.S. health care system can be improved without replacing it with "Medicare for All." "More Medicare, more money for Abdul's family," he said. #cspan #mikerogers #canada #abdulelsayed #election

One of the top reasons why Americans go bankrupt is because of medical expenses. That reason doesn't not even exist in Canada. How do you think explain that?

I love checking facts :
Rogers didn’t even dare to debate Abdul. Because he is not working for the people.

HiThere :
Canadians come to the USA for major medical treatment. I know a lot of Canadians that do that. Believe me, you can’t even get a primary doctor in Canada because there aren’t enough and you need one to get treated

Canadian here. If you go to emergency with a paper cut, charge your phone because you’re going to wait. If you need immediate serious help, it has been my experience; and that of my family, care comes fairly quickly and conclusively. That’s our truth.
